Topic: Latest Driver Updates USB

Hello,

a new firmware is available for the Fireface UC. Version 88 fixes: In Quad Speed operation SMUX4 did not work. The mic gain fader position of channel 1 sometimes changed on ASIO start. In QS mode the analog input channel 1 (mic) did not work correctly.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

The latest driver is now 0.983 (Windows) and 1.58 (Mac). Lots of changes and improvements for FF UC, Babyface and UFX, see driver readme. The Direct USB Recording feature of the UFX is now officially released.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Lots of news! New Win USB driver 1.019. New Mac USB driver 1.65. Both include TotalMix FX 0.963, several fixes, and support for the new Fireface UCX. This comes along with an updated firmware for the UFX (DSP 147) for Mac and Win, with further improvements and fixes.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

The new Mac USB series driver 1.66 solves a small but annoying problem for the UFX and UCX: if the system sample rate is 44.1 kHz and the unit has been set to a different one (for example in stand-alone mode), then booting the Mac with the unit attached the sample rate was not set to 44.1 kHz. Fixed.

Windows 8 includes a new USB driver called xHCI (which also adds native USB 3 support). Our current USB driver crashes during installation under Windows 8. The soon to be released driver 1.020 should be fully compatible with Windows 8. If you want to (and can) try:

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Mac USB driver 1.72 is now available on our website. It includes some nice changes: Supports multi-user operation, Changed buffer handling for 10.7.4, Fixes channel order in 10.7.4 (UFX), Installer signed for 10.8. The latter means that we tested the driver successfully with the current version of 10.8, but will not officially call it 'compatible' unitl the final OS has been released by Apple.

Windows (1.024) and Mac (1.73) drivers including TotalMix FX 0.983 have been uploaded to our website. The new Mac driver also fixes a problem of distortion/noise that occured only on some machines, and sometimes only after a longer time of usage.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

We released firmware 201 for the Babyface, adding stand-alone mode and Class Compliant mode (iPad!). The firmware update tool also includes firmware 117 for the UC, which fixes an internal loopback problem with the ADAT channels.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Firmware 203 turns the flashing instrument input LED (which many people did not like) into a constantly lit one, but with reduced brightness. Only in CC and stand-alone mode, in normal operation the LED is off as before. Also a bug in the Mac firmware has been fixed that caused distortion on echo/reverb.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

- Bug fix: MIDI input did not work after being used in stand-alone mode, required a power cycle of the unit to work again- ASIO sample rate change did not work correctly in Pyramix

TotalMix FX 0.998:- Improved Undo: Loading a Workspace after editing Snapshots removed the last edits from the undo buffer- Several small fixes- Compatible to the latest firmwares for the iPad app v 1.1

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Mac USB driver 1.94 brings these changes:

- Bug fix: Removing the device while the computer is in standby mode and with playback active before sleep caused a crash upon wakeup under 10.9.x

TotalMix FX 0.998:- Improved Undo: Loading a Workspace after editing Snapshots removed the last edits from the undo buffer- Several small fixes- Compatible to the latest firmwares for the iPad app v 1.1

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Mac USB driver 1.95 had been released on March 24 already. It included a further optimization after sleep mode, and came with TM FX 0.999, which has some specific fixes for the Mac side only.

Today Windows USB driver 1.046 now also includes TM FX 0.999 and these news:

- New: number of WDM devices can now be defined in the Settings dialog. A reduction accellerates the change of the sample rate, reduces the time of continued CPU load, brings quicker behavior on plugging and unplugging the unit, and reduces the boot time of Windows with connected interface. The best setting is 0, means no WDM devices at all. Only ASIO and MIDI are active then. A typical setting is 1 to 3 devices (WDM for Media Player etc.), also causing a much quicker behavior than full WDM channel count.

- Significantly improved performance on current computers at double and quad speed - smaller buffer size required for click-free operation with all channels. Affects all USB interfaces except the Babyface.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Windows USB driver 1.048 brings TotalMix FX 1.00 with some changes and bugfixes that we consider serious and urgent, although most users were not affected:

- Several bugfixes when loading workspaces (possible graphics problem after loading the same workspace multiple times; possible hang after multiple loading of workspaces with an Aux device setting; possible incorrect loading of Mac or iPad workspaces).

- Changed Channel Layout: removed column 'active'. The list now only shows the channels that are currently present, depending on the actual sample rate. This also fixes wrong channel names when using the option 'Count MADI Channels per port' with MADI devices.

- Global Trim Gains is now switched off with the Global Trim button only

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Windows USB driver 1.053 comes with an unexpected improvement. So far the driver waited 374 ms after every call of ASIOSetSampleRate. This wait time has been removed. It might explain some crazy delay effects that were reported for quite some time with software like Sonar. Please check it out.

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB

Windows USB driver 1.059 is now available.

- Supports simultaneous display of the Hardware Level in TotalMix FX and DIGICheck

Re: Latest Driver Updates USB
